What trends or emerging trends
are you seeing in the data
protection area?
As data volumes continue to grow at an
exponential rate, companies must not only
store their data; they must approach data
management expertly and look to new
approaches. These may include:
The ‘prevention era’ will be overtaken by
the ‘recovery era’: While data protection
remains crucial, in the data recovery era,
the sooner organisations adopt a restore
and recover mentality, the more they
will be able to benefit from successful
Business Continuity strategies.
The repatriation of cloud data: Many
organisations are embracing the
notion of cloud data repatriation.
They’re increasingly deploying a
hybrid infrastructure in which some
data and applications remain in the
cloud, while more critical data and
applications come back to an on-premises
storage infrastructure.
A data-centric approach to storage:
Today companies are generating
oceans of data, not all of which is of
equal importance. Organisations that
recognise this and implement storage
policies based on the value of their data,
will be in a stronger position when it
comes to data storage, management
and leverage. As such, it’s likely that we
will start to see businesses match their
most critical servers with their most
important data.
Immutable storage for businesses of
all sizes: Ransomware will continue to
be a scourge to all businesses. It’s more
important than ever to protect data with
immutable object storage and continuous
data protection. Organisations will
increasingly look for a storage solution
that protects information continuously by
taking snapshots as frequently as possible.
Companies that capitalise on these new
trends and take new approaches to data
management and protection will be able to
thrive in the digital economy.
